After capturing the hearts of afternoon viewers for seven months, “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo,” will come to its end as the controversial Kapamilya Gold drama series of ABS-CBN is down to its last week. The teleserye topbilled by Shaina Magdayao, Bangs Garcia, and Jake Cuenca will air its final episode this Friday (November 16).

According to Shaina, she has nothing but utmost gratitude for all the fans who have followed their story and loved their characters. “It’s sad that we are about to end, but at the same time it’s fulfilling to see the audience’s good reception to our story,” she said. “I’m really glad that all our effort was worth it and in our own little way, we’ve touched the lives of our viewers and served as an inspiration to them.”

Shaina added that their drama series, which started airing on April 16, further honed her craft as an actress. “We worked for almost a year for this series. And as an actress, this was a big challenge for me,” said Shaina, who is better known to TV viewers as Sarah, Paul’s (Jake) wife and Mia’s (Bangs) greatest rival. “As Sarah, I was able to portray various roles which I haven’t even experienced yet in life. In the show, I played as a mother, a wife who eventually filed for an annulment, and a patient who have undergone amnesia.”

Aside from her love scenes with Jake, loyal viewers of “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo” watch out for her action-packed face-off with Bangs. “If there’s one reason that I’m glad that our show is over, it’s because my violent behavior will finally be over,” Shaina shared. “It doesn’t feel good to be fierce all the time. But then, a lot of our followers love to see Sarah’s confrontation scenes with Mia.”

Don’t miss the final week of “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo,” weekdays, 3:30pm, after “Angelito: Ang Bagong Yugto” in ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold. For more updates log on to www.abs-cbn.com or follow @abscbndotcom on Twitter.

According to Bangs, who is also part of Star Cinema’s latest barkada movie “The Reunion,” she is amazed until now with the huge ratings success of their teleserye in ABS-CBN. “We saw the gradual rise of our show’s ratings but what pleases us more is every time we learn how attached the viewers are with our story, including the Pinoy viewers abroad who can relate with the characters,” said Bangs.

While others cry with the misfortunes of Shaina Magdayao’s role, Sarah, Bang’s avid followers cannot help but join the different battles of Mia, Paul’s (Jake Cuenca) ex-girlfriend who later on became his mistress.

“Because of Mia I was given the chance to prove my versatility as an actress,” said Bangs. “With her, I can be kind, kindhearted, cruel, and sometimes psychotic. Truly, she’s very challenging.”

Bangs is happy that TV viewers are now mature in terms of the TV dramas they watch. She explained, “I’m glad that the audience now are more open-minded because they can separate Mia’s character from Bangs Garcia the actress. I’m really happy to see viewers affected with my cruelty in the story because that means I’m effective as an actress.”

Shaina believes that a big factor of their show’s huge following is its realistic theme that TV viewers find highly relatable, especially women who have experienced the pain of betrayal and infidelity.

“As women, we all love, and we’re willing to give everything for the people we love. We sacrifice, we trust, and we forgive,” explained Shaina. “But like Sarah, when enough is enough, we stand up and value ourselves.”

Just like the loyal televiewers of “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo,” Shaina’s role in the series, Sarah, is close to her heart. And when asked if she finds herself in a situation like Sarah’s and she has to choose between Rino (Ron Morales) who loves her so much but took advantage of her illness and her husband Paul (Jake Cuenca) who, on the other hand, had an affair with his ex-girlfriend while he was abroad, Shaina simply replied, “None of them. Both Rino and Paul hurt Sarah too much in different ways and levels. And even in real life, I’m very sure that there is a right and more deserving man for me aside from the likes of Paul and Rino.”

Now that Sarah and Paul have crossed paths once again, will they find true love once again in each other’s arms? Or will Rino and Mia (Bangs Garcia) still find ways to break the two’s marriage?
